Remember when Saturday mornings were worth getting up for? While we can’t provide a four-hour block of programming, here’s some retro news you may have missed (or simply want to revisit) from the past week.

Saturday’s Cartoon:

Muppet BAAAAABIES. This is “Gonzo’s Video Show”, better known as “That episode of Muppet Babies with the Star Wars stuff in it”.

Julie Brown is wrapping up a musical based on her 80s novelty classic “Homecoming Queen’s Got a Gun”. No, we’re not kidding. There really is a musical based on this 30 year old song.

In other news, a fan recently asked Yoko Ono if John Lennon ever revealed the true secrets behind the “Paul is dead” hoax. She kind of dodged a direct answer to the question on her weekly Q&A, leaving yet another mysterious clue to analyze.

Screen legend Mickey Rooney left us this week, as well. Readers of the site are probably most familiar with his 80s and 90s work on films such as The Fox and the Hound, The Care Bears Movie, Little Nemo, and more recently an appearance in The Muppets.
